Cluster Computing:
PENGUIN INTROS TURNKEY 64-BIT AND 32-BIT CLUSTER SYSTEMS
Penguin Computing, the leading innovator of highly scalable Linux cluster,
server and workstation platforms, announced the immediate availability of
turnkey Linux cluster systems based on the AMD Opteron and Intel Xeon
architectures. Penguin Computing also announced that it will begin shipments
of turnkey Linux cluster systems based on the Intel Itanium 2 architecture
during the 3rd quarter of 2004. The Penguin Computing cluster systems are
powered by Scyld Beowulf, the leading second generation Linux cluster
operating system.
Penguin Computing is demonstrating an Opteron cluster and an Itanium 2 cluster
at ClusterWorld Expo (Booth 201). These new platforms dramatically enhance the
processing power available to enterprise customers requiring highly robust and
scalable cluster systems. Penguin Computing's Opteron and Itanium clusters
featuring Scyld Beowulf will provide cluster customers with the advanced
processing power and memory addressing advantages of 64-bit hardware
platforms.
| Often referred to as "cluster computing on steroids," Grid computing is for
real. Web services, utility computing, .NET, CPU harvesting and distributed
computing are just a few of the technologies that fall under the Grid
computing umbrella. Gt04 -- a premiere enterprise Grid computing conference
targeting industrial and commercial users -- will gather experts, and outline
strategies and road maps for Grid deployment. For more information, visit

"Penguin Computing's new high-performance cluster systems support our
commitment to deliver innovative and high-performance computing solutions to
our enterprise customers," said Enrico Pesatori, president and CEO of Penguin
Computing. "The introduction of these new cluster systems extends Penguin
Computing's leadership position in the enterprise Linux market."
Turnkey cluster systems from Penguin Computing will be comprised of a master
node and 8, 16, 32 or 64 dual processor compute nodes. Storage, processor and
memory options will be customizable to meet a wide range of customer
requirements. All Penguin Computing cluster systems ship with Gigabit Ethernet
as the standard interconnect technology. High-performance, low-latency
interconnects such as Myrinet and InfiniBand are also available.
